Cycling day trip from Steinfurt to Münster

You’ll cover about 35 km, mostly on smooth paved and asphalt paths, making it great for a relaxing day ride. The journey is gentle, with just a couple of rolling hills (around 135 meters of ascent in total), and you’ll spend most of your time on quiet roads and dedicated paths, far from heavy traffic.

Starting in Steinfurt, don’t miss a quick look at its impressive castle and old town flair before pedaling southwards through lush farmland and tranquil countryside.
